Title: Adding a blinking LED to Kay Tremolo. Help needed!
Post by: alparent on February 25, 2013, 09:05:52 AM
I've added a blinking LED to my Kay Tremolo build. It works but when I set the speed to low the LED stopes blinking?

Help please.

This is what I used to add the blinking LED.
I've also noticed the they use 1k or 2k speed pots. The MarkM OhKay layout I used listed a 5k pot.
I guess a 5k pot lets you slow it down more?
